Court: German Intelligence May Hide Eichmann Info

A court in Germany rejected, Thursday, a petition by the newspaper Bild to publish secret details about Adolf Eichmann, who was executed by Israel for his Holocaust activities.

Under the ruling, German intelligence services may continue to hide information about Eichmann, contrary to a decision, last year, that ordered the disclosure of a number of details. Bild contends that the information will document its claim, at least two years old, that the German government knew Eichmann's whereabouts as early as 1952 but kept the information a secret.
